Beneath the portal

Short chapter but I didn't want to leave y'all hanging too long 😭😭

'What the fuck–' Taiwan coughed,
Taiwan rolled from her stomach on her back, seeing the stars twinkle in the almost black sky and something grabbed at her leg.

She started screaming and kicking, eventually lifting herself up in a sit up like way, seeing the hands that were dragging her, ripping her lower part of her wide legged jeans with its sharp claws and drawing blood at the surface of her skin, yet she couldn't feel any sense of pain.

She could see the grin etched on the creature's face, noticing dried brown blood stained on it's lips which was hard to tell from how it looks. It seemed to be also drooling.

Hopefully demons aren't into A blood types.

(Mosquitos seem to enjoy O blood type more, followed by B and then A but demons aren't comparable to those things so lemme think about it)

Taiwan noticed a sharp claw brought up to her throat. Her reflex simply clutching onto the claw to make sure he doesn't harm her with it, it poked and irritated her fingers.

'Y-you're not going to drink my blood right?' Taiwan stammered, 'I'm a country you can't just do that-!'

'Are you really? Does it really matter at desperate times?' The demon brought it's face closer to her torso.

'Are you fucking serious?? From the torso?? Wont that hurt your neck too and that hurts more for me too!'

'It would be a good dopamine source.' He growled as his other hand squeezed her back, digging further into her skin but yet not causing a single scratch.
Taiwan squeaked and kicked the demon, trying to get up but she felt a drop of blood pressure, making her trip another time.

Her vision was like a old TV static, her vision having dark spots and her head felt a thousand times heavier.

Ringing in her ear filled her hearing and making her unable to hear the thudding of the feet of the demon, as he flipped her over and slammed her back on her back.

Taiwan winces in pain and tries her best to continue struggling against it, feeling weaker by the minute.

Her face was pale and her body was failing on her, she got pulled closer to the other's body as she tried to let out some words.

'You can't do this! This is immo–!' She stopped as she felt fangs sink between her waist and her navel.

Unable to scream, she slowly went into an unconscious state with the uncomfortable feeling of something leaking out of her wounds.

'You... bastard.' She groaned before she finally dropped.

South Korea decided to leave to pick up Taiwan since she hasn't arrived yet.

South Korea walked in the road when witnessing the scene, she took out her pocket knife keychain that she brought from an obviously drop shipped keychain from aliexpress and ran to the scene.

'Leave Taiwan alone you weird ass!' SK yelled and she stuck the knife into his back, using her body weight to drag the knife down lower and twisting it to cause more damage. South Korea then pulled out her knife and took out her taser before shoving it on the demon's neck, making it shake and let go of Taiwan before finally using pepper spray to make the knife marks burn.

It collapsed to the side, leaving the Taiwanese on the ground.

South Korea had a proud and satisfied look before switching up to check up on Taiwan, putting her hand over the deep bite mark.

'HELLO?? ANYONE??' South Korea bellowed before Italy and Japan noticed the two.

The two rushed over, at least Italy did since Japan did  it give a rat ass about South Korea having problems, not noticing her Taiwanese friend.

'Japan! It's Taiwan not South Korea!' Italy notified Japan, now she was rushing over to Taiwan.
'What happened?'

'A demon somehow got into the safe zone and attacked her, hopefully it's the only one.' She pointed at the oozing and surprisingly quickly decomposing body of the demons.

They tend to do that when they die before respawning back to hell.

Japan approached Taiwan and squatted down to her level before putting her hand over. Since she converted from dark to holy magic she could easily tell the footprints of dark magic on her.

'South Korea, you Monitor Taiwan and use your phone to get help, Italy you cleanse Taiwan from the magic and I'll go follow the dark magic path to where it leads to.' Japan immediately planned out, the other two nodded and they started to get going.

Japan took put her phone, turning on the flashlight as she followed the steps, also noticing multiple scratches on the ground.

The path ended by a small house, the energy around the area felt uncomfortable and unsafe. She might have to call someone for help to come with her since going alone won't be a good area.

She flagged the area to search later on internally before heading back.

The three were gone with tire tracks on the path.

Japan sighed and took out her phone.

J: Where the fuck are you guys?
I: Japan don't worry we just told Germany and we don't have enough resources so we just went to the hospital
J: Taiwan is never gonna forgive your ass with those american healthcare bills💀💀
I: Who said we paying?
J: Don't Tell you you'll just commit a crime and run
I: No no USA made the system like this so we forced him to pay later on
J: Hopefully that will convince him to not be a dumbass and charge a thousand dollars for a little cat scratch.
J: Wait so what do I do now since y'all ahead me??
I: I mean you could always just go back to your room, wait, how about the dark magic?
J: It went to a sketchy little house
I: Maybe go find someone to explore it with
J: Ok I will, bye!!
I: Bye bye

Japan entered the base were she knew both East and West were, she could trust them for that right?

Knocking on the door, East opens it.
'Taiwan I swear to god you're supposed to be- Japan?' East blinked a couple times before rubbing them from tiredness.
'It's late what the fuck are you doing here? Aren't you in another base?'

'Yeah but... you know what I'm too lazy to explain I'll just show you the last text messages with Italy.' Japan said before handing her phone.

East read them all before sighing,
'Now?'

'I mean..'

'How about tomorrow, you try to leave UN during the day and come with me and West to check it out?' East tried to find another way to delay requests. It was probably a good idea considering East's sleep schedule is hanging on for life.

'Sounds good, so meet by here tomorrow....?'

'Tomorrow 10am, yes yes okay I really need to go before I wake up Someone.' East Said, 'Goodnight Japan.'

'Night!' Japan left back to her base, setting an alarm for tomorrow which she likely would sleep over anyway.
